Telephone Operations

Passwords

Enter Password # 3

Change Password # 4

Passwords are required for a number of the operations described in this chapter, as well as for accessing voice mail. Each user is assigned a unique password. When you enter your password, you identify yourself to the system. This allows the system to block unauthorized users from forwarding your calls, retrieving your voice mail, for example.

Note The factory-default configuration is for all passwords to be four digits long.

Once you enter a password, the system will know who you are and you will remain “under password protec- tion” until you hang up. This means that any further operations you may want to perform which require a password can be done without re-entering a password.

If you attempt to perform an operation which requires a password and you have not already “gone under” password protection, the system will prompt you for a password. If this happens, enter your password at the prompt to complete the operation. You will then be “under password protection” from then until you hang up the phone.

In addition, you can also “go under password protection” by doing the following:

1.Pick up any phone or otherwise get an inside line dial tone.

2.Enter # 3 . The system will ask for a password.

3.Enter your password.

4.If your password was accepted, you will get a voice prompt and another inside dial tone.

5.Perform the operation desired. Note that, instead of hanging up, you can finish one operation and start another by using the Disconnect sequence Flash # .

To change your password:

1.Pick up any phone or otherwise get an inside line dial tone.

2.Enter the Change Password sequence # 4 . The system will ask for the old password.
